A site which is not active only consumes disk space. So the impact is mostly how much activity you will have on the D7 site. I have multiple test sites on a shared server (less than a VPS) and it is slow to get paged in when I start testing, but seems to have no other effect. You might have memory limits that cause problems. I also sometimes get timeouts that give nasty messages but a refresh is usually sufficient to get it to do what it was supposed to do. Cron does consume resources so be careful and don't make it frequent.<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Folks:<br>I have a drupal 6 site on my server, but want to eventually upgrade to version 7. I have one of the bottom of the line VPS servers at <a href="http://liquidweb.com/" target="_blank">liquidweb.com</a>, so am a bit concerned about the server load. For multiple sites, the sites folder holds the configuration information for each site, but if I use D7 in another domain, would this cause a big impact on my server? <br>
<br>Basically, I'm asking if this is a stupid idea, and what tradeoffs, re resources, I should consider.<br>Thanks,<br>Bill<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><div>
